Took approximately 9 days from the day I did my biometrics to the day I got my visa ready for collection (standard though)

And yes I got my visa decision mail from ukvi
Cheers🥂

Diqlan:
Nothing to panic about, Likely you will get a mail today or tomorrow

Charles1110:
Finally got the mail, visa successful
All thanks to God and to everyone here for their insights..
Really happy😊

Ashirioluwa:
The letter clearly stated the reason why your visa was refused. 

The main issue was your income. You planned to use almost half of your yearly income for a 5-day trip. I don't think any rational person will believe that your story.

It's not a rule, but the advice here on nairaland is that visa applicants should make sure that their trip expenses are not more than their 2 to 3 monthly salary.

Another factor is your home ties.

giselle237:
Do not bother with reapplying . You are not able to sponsor yourself. Your fiancée- female who is resident in another country, not UK, needs to sponsor the trip. Your account has unverified large deposits etc 4 million naira deposit in 3 months and your supposed salary is 350k with monthly expenses of 150k… so technically 200k disposable income… . The rest was explained in the refusal letter expressly.

Save your money, your fiance’s money and your strength. You will not get a UK transit visa at this time. They will not take that risk as 4 hours layover is enough for you to get to the UK border and seek entry based on asylum etc as a lot of people get to the border, tear or hide their travel documents and next thing declare that they are running away from persecution, next thing they get into camp and sneak away from there or get into the country and start enjoying benefits until their case is decided.

Thanks to everyone on this platform ,i appreciate all the process here and I took note of them

Bybellman:
@cashmadam, I have a Bahamas tourist Visa, all paid for and my UL transit visa was denied today with this reason , travel date is sept 10th, what can I do please ? I don’t know if Canada transit can be quick or to reapply with this Uk 🤦🏾‍♂️

stanliwise:
please who can point me to list of docs I need when I get to visa office?

Cashmadam:
The documents are enough to show that you own a stake in the company. In my opinion, they are adequate for this purpose.

Obidikejr:
Beautiful people,

If I am a founding director and share holder in the company I currently work. The company is owned by I and my brother and we are both directors.

Does the CAC documentation that shows my role/ position as director, shareholder serves the purpose of employment letter?

Thank you.

Cashmadam:
Then add the statement of account for your savings and investment accounts. It's not a big deal. Unless there is something else you are worried about

giselle237:
Kindly see the post above yours and the refusal letter. If you still insist to go ahead, then that’s on you and you should be fine with dealing with the aftermath- positive or negative.

giselle237:
They look at your debits. As a first time applicant with 0 travel history you can not write on your form monthly expenses is 200k and in actual fact by way of your account statement you are debited 1.5 million… it can not work

Cashmadam:
For your monthly spend, calculate all your expenses over 6 months and divide by 6 to get an average. Do the same thing for the inflow you get for your business.

Electorate:
These Politicians don't know they are playing with fire.

They threatened the hungry and obviously angry citizens.

They live opulent lives and rub it on the face of the masses (what an insult) and don't know one day it will backfire.

The other day a supposed elderly but idiotic Senate President publicly mocked the poor by saying they should go ahead and protest while they (the political class,) will be eating inside. The fool doesn't know when it gets hotter the angry youths will come for them and their families and there won't be a place to eat or food for them to eat again.

They also forget that the security forces they are relying on also have families at home facing the hardship, when it gets hotter the security forces too will join the protest and there won't be anywhere for them to hide.

They forget that even if they decide to run away to seek shelter anywhere in the world, they shouldn't forget that Nigerians are one of the most traveled citizens across the globe, they will be fished out and punished for the crime they committed in Nigeria.

E go soon red for corrupt politicians.

Cashmadam:
Amen.

I understand. However, why can't you use another account for your car business? If you need your salary to buy cars and sell, transfer the money from your salary account to your business account and conduct your business from that seperate account.

You should declare your daughter and her Mum. In my opinion, the impact is 50/50.

GodGraceOnly:
When is comes to statement of account, don’t just put up and explanation letter of the transactions in your account. Make sure you also attach receipt or investment or whatever document to backup your claims.

Let there be evidence. They work with evidence to know the source of the money .

sniperwolf:
Most recent cars have better fuel efficiency than their predecessors.

Same way a 2016 will have better MPG than the mentioned 2014.

I drive a 2011 Acura MDX and I can tell you that the consumption is manageable considering the size and weight of the vehicle.

That car is heavy! 3.7L engine!

ojorich:
You would do just fine it's a smooth ride except for ajaokuta where the road is a bit rough. Approximately it should take you 4 hours to be in Idah town

Hullabaloon:
Baba, which one you later get and how much? I have exact same budget
